Because "Listen for the Lie" centers on a podcast investigation, I highly recommend the audio version of this read! The podcast snippets add a lot to the experience, not only because there's a little jingle to introduce them. :)
Even beyond the audio flair, I really enjoyed the story and the way it was constructed. The characters were interesting (especially our protagonist Lucy, who was flawed but also funny and relatable), the pace was lightning fast, and the end reveal was surprising but also satisfying. Sure, I had to suspend a little disbelief; but I literally finished the book in a single day so interpret that information as you will.
Finally, a much-discussed book this year that actually does live up to the hype!
